OpenAI brings its GPT-4.1 fashions to ChatGPT

[ad_1] OpenAI is releasing its GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1 mini AI fashions in ChatGPT, the corporate introduced in a publish on X Wednesday.

The GPT-4.1 fashions ought to assist software program engineers who're utilizing ChatGPT to write down or debug code, OpenAI spokesperson Shaokyi Amdo instructed TechCrunch. GPT-4.1 excels at coding and instruction following in comparison with GPT-4o, based on OpenAI, however is quicker than its o-series of reasoning fashions.

The corporate says it’s now rolling out GPT-4.1 to subscribers to ChatGPT Plus, Professional, and Workforce. In the meantime, OpenAI is releasing GPT-4.1 mini without cost and paying customers of ChatGPT.
